GERMAN RESEARCHERS PROPOSE NEW SOLUTION TO THE
"BETTY HILL STAR MAP"

_New Discoveries in Betty Hill's Star Map_

This interesting paper begins with a review of the famous "Hill
Case", the quintessential UFO abduction case. Attention is focussed
on the "star map" which Betty Hill was shown by the "Leader" and
later reproduced under hypnotic regression. Marjory Fish's solution
of that map is then discussed.
An interpretitive analysis of the interaction between Betty Hill and
the "Leader", and noticing two small curved lines in the largest
circles of the Hill Star Map led Koch and Kyborg to seek their own,
new solution to the star map.
Page 1
In their analysis of the "Leader's" presentation of the star map to
Betty, they discerned that the "Leader" had obtained enough
information to determine Betty's limited astrnomical knowledge;
mostly about the planets in our own solar system. They then
postulated that the "Leader" presented information to Betty in a
frame of reference with which Betty should have been familiar.
When Betty "failed the test" by not recognizing the location of
Earth in the map, the "Leader" closed the map from view. Perhaps,
Koch/Kyborg reasoned, it WAS OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM that Betty was
shown.
Wondering if the two small curved lines across the two large circles
in the map foreground indicated the rings of Saturn and Jupiter,
they used a computer to plot the positions of the various bodies of
our solar system at the time of the Hill abduction. With some work,
and one major assumption, they found a good match to the Hill Star
Map within our own solar system.
The "major assumption" to which we refer is that their best solution
comes not on the day of the actual abduction but on a day about one
month later during the nights that Betty Hill experienced nightmares
of the abduction and saw the star map again in her dreams. These
nightmares ocurred only once.
To us, the most suggestive detail is that the Koch/Kyborg solution
accounts elegantly for a detail of the Hill Star Map that the Fish
solution does not address: a small central circle drawn with a thick
line. The position of our sun coincides with this feaure of the map
in the proposed solution. This was discovered after the other
correspondences were accounted for.
The researchers' logic is plausible, with the possible exception of
the date and its rationale.
The text is accompanied by several illustrations of the Hill Star
Map as drawn by Betty Hill, and printouts of the computer generated
diagrams of the solar system indicating the proposed solution. Some
of these printouts were difficult to read, but did show the solution
as stated.
We feel that this proposed solution of the star map is worthy of
serious consideration. In our view, the Koch/Kyborg proposal is
generally as plausible as is Ms. Fish's.
This paper is not currently available in the U.S. to the best of our
knowledge. It certainly should be, and no doubt will be available.
